I’m so fortunate that Vital Proteins sent me their Mixed Berry Collagen, which also contains probiotics & Hyaluronic acid. I’ve been dying to try it but haven’t gotten around to it, until today!!!

After two intense workouts this morning, you can be sure I needed the refuel, amino acids, protein + collagen for muscle recovery! I was CRAVING something comforting too, so… OATS! I mean, whoever said oats weren’t comfort food ain’t never tried a bowl of KITK oats, okay?

The recipe is simple: you add oats, almond milk, vanilla, collagen + Ceylon cinnamon to a skillet. You bring it to a boil, simmer it until the liquid is absorbed & the oats are thick, creamy & cooked through.

AND YES… I HAD CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST!Only God can judge me, okay? And just by the way… when you add the chocolate to a bowl of warm oats, there’s no words for the way it melts… H.E.A.V.E.N.L.Y.

Basically, if you’re looking for a warm, comforting, delicious, healthy, nutritious, filling, satisfying, beauty-boosting, gut-healing, immunity-enhancing, fibre-full, energy-boosting, antioxidant-rich, CHOCOLATEY breakfast? This bowl has you covered in just about every department!

BTW, if you’re vegan, worry not… simply swap the collagen for your fave vegan protein powder & you’re good to go! The rest of the recipe is completely vegan!

Without further ado, because let’s be honest, you just want the recipe stat, let’s get to the nitty-gritty.

Add the oats, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon & collagen to a small skillet. Bring to a boil.

Once boiled, lower heat to medium & cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring every now & then with a wooden or rubber spatula, until the oats are cooked through & all liquid has been absorbed. Oats should be thick & creamy.
